Nigel Kennedy: Genius? Sack of Sh*te? Or Both?
I've just seen Nigel Kennedy on the box in a recital, and he looked like a cross between Charlie Chaplin and the Marquis of Bath.
What is he trying to prove? He's a nob (in the posh sense) trying to pretend that he's a little just humblebum with a penchant for scraping a fiddle.
And with his eccentric dress sense he reminds me of a scruffy yobbo in a clown's suit complete with silly big bovver boots, baggy suit, mohican hairstyle and 3 days' stubble.
(Apologies to any "real" clowns reading this!)

Nigel is, and has always been, something of a maverick figure on the classical scene. There is no doubting his abudndant talent though, recognised by anyone who knows anything about playing classical violin.
On a rather personal note - when I am having a bad self-image day - usually just the days with a 'y' in them - I take comfort in the fact that I am still better looking that NK!
